Increased demands but reduced resources. Illusory targets and unrealistic milestones. Short‐term expedience rather than long‐term vision. Such is the pressured environment for those working within mental health services in the UK in 2010. How good it is, therefore, to find something to celebrate. Clearly, the Latest Advances in Psychiatry symposia cannot reverse these fundamental problems, but they do offer some respite: a chance to address personal Continuing Professional Development (CPD) objectives, to listen to experts at the top of their field, to catch up with colleagues, and to cherish the brief time away from the hurly‐burly of psychiatric practice.
